We are still so far behind the power curve of this virus. Should never have dropped mask and social distancing precautions before we reached herd immunity AND all the great new variant developers and exporters like India, Brazil, etc. get significant vaccination rates. Science knows how to defeat this, we just are being too stupidly human and selfish to follow the science.

Mandates aren't going to happen at the federal level, but vaccine approval will embolden many groups, he predicted.

"Organizations, enterprises, universities, colleges that have been reluctant to mandate at the local level will feel much more confident," he said.

"They can say, 'If you want to come to this college or this university, you've got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this plant, you have to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this enterprise, you've got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this hospital, you've got to get vaccinated.'"
